Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

[Steve_OS]

ESPN The Gamer has posted the Madden NFL 12 player ratings for the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Are there any changes you would like to see, or are they just about right?

Nice rotation of DT's for New Oreleans when you throw Aubrayo Franklin into the mix.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

mason foster at 65?? dude should atleast be in low 70's, and his hit power should be mid to high 80's.

[PH1LLYSFINEST13]

Some things I noticed for Tampa

UNDERRATED -

I think K. Lumpkin might be a bit underrated , I mean they let go of Cadillac Williams because they had that much faith in this guy. He's rated at a 62 right now , I would have liked to see him in the upper 60's , like 68 or so.

Jeremy TrueBlood is a 71??? I was thinking at least 80 for this guy. He started all last season.

Like another poster said , Mason Foster a 65? Low 70's would have worked.

I expect to see either Price or Miller on the D Line get a stat boost as the season goes on and the same Goes with either Myron Lewis , EJ Biggers , or Elbert Mack to get one as well , whoever they decide to start at the nickel. Right now I believe they have Myron Lewis there.

One last note , I am hoping they actually get Tanard Jackson back , great saftey , way better than Cody Grimm. Same goes for Aquib Talib , great Cornerback , just both of em have some off field troubles. If they are in the game and playing for the team in real life , The Defense will be really nice.

Jabari Greer's speed is too low. At least a 92, the guy is fast ea.
Jonathan Casillas hit power needs to be at least a an 85, dude is crushing guys in preseason.
Malcolm Jenkins needs to be a 90 speed also.
Mark Ingram speed needs to be an 88-89.

[saintsyadig]

Also when the update comes out, don't forget lb Nate Bussey #59. 7th rd. He is making an impact. Who Dat?!

Jesus... looks like you can't play any man to man coverage at all with Ronde Barber out there lol

Re: Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I think EA got Tampa nearly perfect.

Hard to believe Mike Williams is only a total OVR of an 84 though with...

88 Speed
92 Acceleration
89 catch rating
92 agility
94 jump
95 stamina, etc.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Spoken like a tue homer ^. Jabari Greer is good but 92 speed, not so much. He has 92 man, 94 zone, 84 press, with 88 speed and 93 acc. that's puts him as a top corner in the game but he's not elite (which is what the bump in speed would do).

Malcom Jenkins with 90 speed, you must be smokin' the "who dat", as a Saints fan you should know dude was drafted as a DB, but was moved to FS because he was too slow to cover NFL receivers. His speed rating of 87 is a bit generous, he had 85 speed last year.

Casillas 85 hit power, now is 60 too low I could see that, 70-77 seems fair. But 85 is too high.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Wow, just realized the only player on the Bucs with 90+ speed is the backup running back.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Is colston really THAT slow? Being totally serious. I never watch saints games. But I know how lethal their passing game is, and this just seems way too low. Maybe 86 but, not 83.

Jabari couldn't hang with no teams number 1 wr in madden 11. Just a lil faster than they have him is all. I agree with u on everything else. Just want the Saints defense to with other teams.

83 does seem a little low, but he's a big possession WR that relys on his route running and catching. He can still get past people tho so idk

Re: Madden NFL 12 Player Ratings - New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I know, from what I understand, colston is quite a deep threat. But, let's face it; 83 is tight end speed. You won't be getting by anyone with 85 speed. Let alone 83 speed.

On the bright side, based on Ronde's MCV rating, I'm not sure if he'll even attempt to chase after WRs.
